Only if your car is lowered, otherwise they will just be pulled apart constantly and snap. They really aren't to make a handling difference, it's just that on the lowered cars the stock links are too long and too flimsy.

Yep, just call Luke at Lindsay. He had the best price when I was looking around and they were at my door in 2 days.

Default Alternative to Z06 links

If you have discount connections at a local dealer, you might also try pricing the GMPP Heim-end links (#25534473). Having a GM part number (but will require special order) , they can also be ordered from vendors like Scoggin-Dickey at a more decent price.

These are fully-adjustable and come with the hardware for installation. They are the non-sealed version of Heims, but seals can be purchased via any competent circle/dirt track shop. Lube 'em with a high-quality grease like WURTH SIG 3000 and install them with seals and you're good to go.

As with any Heim-end, there is no soft cushion to delay any response to input.

That's the good stuff.......the down side is that they are metal to metal and as such, can transmit more road noise and will wear unless sealed.

If you order them from Luke, make sure to get the nuts also. I got some from him and went to do the install. I've still got the OEM endlinks cause I completely forgot about the Z06s.
